Dear Bhakti List Members: This is a continuation from yesterday's discussion. 4. Yogananda Narasimha Swamy On the Western side of Vedadri Hill, near Lakshmi Kshetra, facing South is Yogananda Narasimha Swamy. It is believed that at this place Prahalada learnt Yogabhyasa from Lord Narasimha. Hence, he is called Yogananda Narasimha Swamy. The Lord is shown with his two upper hands holding Chakra and Sankha while the lower hands are seen resting on the Yoga-Patta. 5. Karanja Narasimha Swamy On the Western side of Garudadri hill under the shade of the great Karanja Vriksha is located the temple of Karanja Narasimha Swamy. The Lord is seen seated in meditation under the canopy of Adisesha. He is holding a Sarnaga or bow. Next to this temple is located the shrine Sri Anjaneya. To be continued...
